I am on a tight budget and on the lookout for a good laserjet printer.

My requirements are:

  1. First and foremost and of the greatest weightage is for a printer whose ink can be easily refilled by me alone. A friend suggested that conventional laserjet printers run very nicely on some locally available black printing ink powder which is very cheap for heavy use.
  2. Cheap
  3. Good print quality (which i think is a given for text printing using a laser jet)
  4. Some reliable company so that it can be easily serviced.
Please note, that the printer would be used heavily for printing text albeit for home use.

  • I am not looking for an inkjet as I already have one.
  • I don't require a color printer, I want the cheapest and best bet.
  • I don't require some all in one printer. I want it do one job, and do the job damn well and efficiently.
  • High resolution and printing speed are desirable but not at a premium.
Thank you all for your help.

I have to get this in the next week for some work, so its kinda urgent and any I wud appreciate any help in this regard.

I may even buy a second hand one if its in perfect working condition and meets the above criteria. ;)
 
anyone have a Xerox Phaser 3117?

I know that a new toner cartridge costs almost the same as the printer itself.

I am planning to refill the toner or use some local toner compatible with the printer.

the hp 1020, which appears to be a decent printer costs more than Rs. 2k more than the Xerox.
 
Xerox Phaser 3117 has earned bad name for itself by its habbit of picking up multiple sheets instead of one.

it makes it prone to paper jams and will make ur papers out of order if u are printing on both sides of paper
 
i just got a SAMSUNG ML 1610 @ 4600/- its nice. The cartidge in the printer can run for 3000 pages. So go for it :D
